Try dribbling this!

One of Sarah's favorite treats from the market is pomelo - a close relative of grapefruit. The other day I bought this one for her which you can see is nearly as big as a basketball!
Pomelos have very thick rinds - this one was about 2" thick. Inside the fruit is yellow or pink and tastes similar to grapefruit, although often they are not as juicy or sweet.
This pomelo cost $10 Solomon dollars which is about $1.25 US. We have seen a big increase in prices at the market. Some produce has doubled in price over the past few months. This is partially due to a lot of rainfall which ruined some gardens and a big increase in the price of rice which is largely imported.

Sarah has grown and changed so much since last year! I have to say, a pomelo is one of my favorites too and we have seen a huge increase in produce prices here as well as rice. Gas is $.06 a gallon today even. Wow.
